Bristol, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Big Ten is set to announce its divisional
realignment Wednesday evening and early reports have the controversial split
of longtime rivals Michigan and Ohio State in place.
According to an earlier report by ESPN, a television partner with the Big Ten,
there will be two divisions of six teams each starting in 2011-2012 with the
splits as follows:
Michigan, Nebraska, Michigan State, Iowa, Northwestern and Minnesota will make
up one division while the other will house Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin,
Purdue, Indiana and Illinois.
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delaney is expected to make the announcement at 7
p.m. (et) live on the Big Ten Network.
The changes are expected to be fully implemented for football, although the
report stated it remains unclear whether the divisions will be used for
basketball or rather a single 12-team division.
